Project Web Reflection
            The topic that I choose for Project Web was cyber-bullying. Cyber-bullying has grown dramatically over social networks in the past few years. I had a few background experiences on working on this topic, so it was very easy finding research to back up my point. There wasn’t really anything new that I learned from working with this topic, but I did find a lot of shocking research. I am a little better on expressing my thoughts on paper then I was last year. It was very hard for me to write down what I was thinking and when I wrote what I was thinking sometimes it didn’t make any sense at all. Even though I would tell myself not to procrastinate I would end up doing it. I waited to like a few days after peer review to actually go back and fix what my peers had mention to fix. I didn’t turn in a 2nd rough draft because I procrastinated. When I was doing my research I would start off looking for research for my topic but then I would daze off my topic and look at you tube videos. Working with the blog was very helpful. I was able to gather up all my research in one whole space and not worry of losing it. I think that is why I set up everything for the last minute. All the ideas that I got were from working with my group and investigating a little more on my topic. My first draft was easy to write up because all I did was introduce my topic. Once I started doing more research it started looking good. I didn’t want to sound like if I was jumping from here and there with my topic. Starting on my intro was also tough because I didn’t want to sound vague or cheesy. Once I was able to gather up my thoughts and set up an essay structure I was able to produce the final product.  I can say that I can see a progress on the way I’m writing. I’m being to use more “intelligent” words.
